Yes, reporting patent income on a 1099-Misc as Other Income is appropriate.
Unfortunately, you still have to go through the exercise of reporting the income, backing it out with a negative entry, and reporting it in the Investments section in TurboTax to take advantage of a lower Capital Gain tax rate (if that applies to you).
